A delightful twist on the classic potato bake, this recipe combines creamy textures with a cheesy topping for a comforting dish.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and the perfect texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, sour cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Make sure the potatoes are warm for easier mixing.
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and spread it evenly.
Use a spatula to smooth the top for even baking.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
For extra flavor, mix the cheese with a pinch of paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Check the casserole halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
